Maybe for you, something like “This will pass and things will get better”, or “ My babies and I will create a bright future” or “Breathe. Let it roll off of you”
Thanks, Kml. It sounds like it might be practical enough to be helpful.

I think H will still be liable to pay child support, and depending the assessment, lump sum payments are credited at the end of the financial year against the liability. It may be useful considering the flakiness of H, but I need to look into more real life examples of this to decide. In any case, it's good to know there are options to approach this.
